Listed below are the online courses LinuxChix hosted prior to 2013. Courses were conducted between 2002 and 2012.

Most courses took place on the LinuxChix Courses mailing list, and the full discussions surrounding each course --
including the lessons, questions from students, and problems solved -- can be seen in the list archives. Discussion links here take you to the very beginning of the course, but discussion continues throughout the course, often spanning many months. If there are no discussion links, the course was not conducted on the Courses mailing list.

Description: The title I really wanted for this course was "how-not-to-be-a-doormat-but-instead-a-confident-person-who-gets-what-she-wants-and-doesn't-waste-half-her-life-kicking-herself-for-being-a-spineless-wuss." Which is a bit awkward, so instead I'm going to call it "Spineful Living," which I hope conveys the same message.

Description: A course in the use of the database management system, Postgresql. Although much less popular than its cousin, MySQL, it is, in fact, more robust, more powerful, and often faster. We'll cover installation, server administration, command-line client use, as well as remote connections via web and ODBC.
